This is not really something a DIY'r would feel comfortable handling I would think.
GREAT results though.

I guess it all depends on what you are comfortable with. I have done some painting and I would feel comfortable with doing that. Its basic touch up.

to the OP... great write up!

Petty impressive, not something I've got the talent for though. I've got some doctorcolourchip coming this week, hope it works. My focus is tuxedo black which appears to be very similar to the European panther black.

Awesome article, thank you for writing this up. I am definitely not doing this myself, but at least I know what it takes to complete and I can hunt around for prices in my neighborhood.

Is this the type of work a body shop will do? I filled my own chips on my last car, which was mostly junk. I'd like to get a couple chips on the hood of my new focus taken care of. I always thought the only way to really fix that type of damage was to completely repaint it.
